Now. there is no such relation
between capital and labor as
assumed, nor is there anything as
free man being fixed for life, in
the constitution of hired laborer.
Both these assumptions are false,
and all differences from these are
boundless. Many Independent
men everywhere in these states, a
few years back, were hired labor
ers. The prudent, penniless be-
ginner in the world labors for
wages awhile, saves a surplus with
which to buy tools or land for
himself, then labors on his own
account another while, and at
length hires another new begin
ner to help him. This is the just
and generous and prosperous sys-
tenn which opens the way to all
and gives hope to all, and conse-
quent energy and progress End
improvement of condition to all

ments allege that on the last voyage of
the Alameda to Australia the vessel had
not been out two days before the officers
in the engineers department began to
abuse the men. On the 2Sth of Octo-
ber, the fifth day out, Schroeder came
out of the fire.room and complained
of feeling faint. He was ordered back
to work by one of the officers with the
foulest language. He obeyed, but when
near the smokestack dropped to the
floor. Fletcher saw him and ordered
two men, one of whom was Smith, to
hold him close to the furnace doors.
They were thrown open and he was
kept near the fire for several minutes.
His head fell back and he never uttered
another sound. His body was buried at
sea. Fletcher and Smith take their ar.

Three men were brought into
San Pedro yesterday morning by
Alex. Acklehardt, a pilot, who took
them from the bark Majestic. bound for
San Diego. From them was learned a
tale of horrible suffering and shipwreck
at sea, which occurred on Thursday
December 10th, in which the ship Har-
vey Mills foundered in heavy gale
about 65 miles off Cape Flattery. OF
the entire crew, consisting of "a souls,
only three, the first mate and the two
sailors referred to, were saved. The
vessel was loaded with coal from Seattle
for San Francisco and struck terrific
gale on Thursday morning, and on scud.
ding away before the wind shipped sea
after seq until she became water.logged
and unmanageable. In cutting away the
main mast it broke off and tore large
hole in the deck, which soon filled her.
The crew endeavored to save themselves
by tearing off the roof of the cabin and
constructing two RATS, and abandoned
the vessel on her beam ends late in the
afternoon of Thursday. These RATS
were made fast and held together
through the night, but in the
morning as heavy sea was
rolling they let go and drifted apart.
The men here were picked up on the
Sunday following by the bark Majestic
and taken aboard and brought to this
post. They were forwarded to San
Francisco by the customs authorities
by the steamers Eureka and
Orizaba, the mate going on the latter.

he said, in making lists of the banks aud
the amount of matured bonds held

to be lenient with the banks but he felt
that he could no longer delay enforcing
